Hiroshima JALT:

Language Awareness and International Understanding through English

Date: Sunday, February 16th, 2003 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Kip Cates

Description:
This presentation introduces ideas for designing a content-based thematic unit on "world languages and writing systems". It argues that teaching about world languages can stimulate student interest in language, improve language learning motivation and promote international awareness while practicing English language skills. The presenter will demonstrate task-based EFL activities through which students explore language families, learn about world languages, recognize major writing systems, identify foreign languages when spoken and master basic conversational expressions in several world languages.
About the presenter: Kip Cates is an esteemed global education instructor for the MA TESOL program of Teachers College, Columbia University, Tokyo, as well as founder and coordinator of JALT's Global Issues SIG.
